This is the first official reissue on vinyl of this extremely rare
album, originally released in 1978 on the Brutkasten label. A very
varied fusion album IM TAL DER EMMEN blends Embryo and Zappa/Mothers
like rock and jazz mixtures, with a rich instrumental palette, full of
solos and invention. Mostly it intended to sound like an instrumental
Out of Focus (Freeman Brothers in “ The Crack in the Cosmic Egg“) The
album has this charming Kraut/Fusion style. The sextett line-up resulted
to a very rich sound with technical drumming, smooth instrumental
interactions and loose executions on flute, guitars and organ, not to
mention the scratching sax soliing of Mandi Riedelbauch (played also on
the Marsupilami “Arena“ album, 1971 Long Hair LHC 257). Moreover there
are slight psychedelic underlines over an jazzy attitude, typical of the
Kraut Rock stylings, featuring steady but frenetic rhythmic parts over
extended instrumental solos. The band had however a good sense of melody
to support their jazzy style with melodic trombones and some delicate
flute lines in the more mellow segments. Every track in here seems to
have its own hero, no matter if this the keyboardist, the flutist or the
sax player.They do remind of classic acts such as KRAAN and EMBRYO
pretty often with a touch of SUPERSISTER in the furious interplays.
Interesting and at moments fascinating Kraut Fusion with decent
interplays and plenty of well-performed solos. Recommended both to Kraut
Rock and Jazz/Fusion fans (apps79, progarchive reviewer). LP comes with
6 sided cover sized insert sheet with bandstory, many photos and other
memorabilias. (Longhairmusic.de)
